The Sounds Dealer at the Theater Duisburg: A Poetic Live Audio Play for Young Theater Ears
With The Sounds Dealer, a small sound adventure will arrive at FOYER III of the Theater Duisburg on November 10, 2026. The piece by Kathrin Rohmann transforms sounds into stage magic and opens up a space for children aged five and up, where text, sound, and imagination come together.
When Sounds Become Characters
At the center is a dealer who has the right sound for every peculiar longing: from creepy rustling to applause, from creaking doors to drum rolls. The production by TOBOSO as a live audio play unfolds a delicate play with acoustics, rhythm, and imagination. Especially in the foyer theater, a special theater atmosphere emerges—close, focused, and immediate.
Dramaturgy Between Ear and Eye
The dramaturgical idea is as simple as it is effective: listening becomes an event. The audience experiences how a whole sound world emerges from boxes, glasses, and crates. Direction, music, and design work together precisely, condensing the source material into a sensual stage for attention and wonder. Young viewers will hear what theatrical art can achieve when it is told playfully and clearly.
A Children's Play with a Fine Sense for Perception
With a duration of around 40 minutes, the performance is ideal for families and school classes. It raises awareness for auditory perception, imagination, and the little poetry of everyday life. Its strength lies precisely in this: the stage experience remains light-footed, yet leaves traces. Those who listen discover the world with different ears.
A Venue with Intimacy and Character
FOYER III of the Theater Duisburg provides the perfect setting for this experience. The space stands for special productions, closeness to the ensemble, and a direct connection to the action. Audience reactions will likely consist mainly of astonishment, laughter, and eager attention, as every nuance of sound matters here.
Conclusion: The Sounds Dealer promises a lively, clever, and lovingly designed theater experience for children and adults. Anyone who wants to experience sound art, imagination, and an unusual live audio play in a special foyer atmosphere should mark this date and be there live.
